Boek van Jennifer Laing over de val van het Romeinse Rijk

Examines the barbarians from Europe and beyond who harassed, eroded and eventually caused the disintegration of the Roman Empire.

It includes the Huns, Mongolian horsemen who swept into Europe to form a short-lived empire from the Urals to the Rhine; the Visigoths, or western Goths, who sacked Rome in 410 and ruled Spain from Toledo until the Moorish conquest in 711; the Ostrogoths, or eastern Goths, who ruled Italy from 493 until the Emperor Justinian drove them out in 534; the Franks, a group of Germanic tribes who came to rule France under the Merovingians; and the Vandals, fierce Arian Christians who invaded Gaul and Spain around 400 and sacked Rome in 455.

As the author shows, some, such as the Vandals in North Africa, had shortlived periods of supremacy and relatively insignificant effect on the areas they settled; others, such as the Franks, adapted to Roman ways to create the strong foundations of medieval and later nations. Throughout the text, the authors reconstruct the volatile world of pitched battle and invasion.

Jennifer Laing was born 30 March 19 48. She has written many books on the past, often in conjunction with Lloyd Laing. Her overriding interest has always been the way the past has moulded the present. She is the author of Art and Society in Roman Britain and, with Lloyd Laing, The Picts and the Scots, Art of the Celts, Medieval Britain: The Age of Chivalry and Celtic Britain and Ireland: Art and Society.

Flaptekst van het boek over de eerste stoomlocomotief Locomotion No. 1

In 1825 the Stockton & Darlington Railway began operations as the world’s first public railway to be operated by steam. The first train, that opened the railway on the 27th September, was drawn by the locomotive that became known as Locomotion No.1, and from this origin all public railways the world over developed to become the driving force behind economic progress.

The brief history that accompanied the locomotive’s preservation in 1857 was both inadequate and factually incorrect. In anticipation of the railway’s bicentenary a major archival and archaeological study was initiated by the National Railway Museum to establish the true history of the locomotive both in service and during retirement. This is the story revealed by the study.

Michael R. Bailey is a railway historian who has undertaken projects for museums in England, Canada and Denmark. He writes and lectures (and occasionally acts as a TV consultant) and was a consultant to UNESCO regarding the Rhaetian Railway’s application for World Heritage status. He is a member of the Newcomen Society, and was its president 1995 – 1997. He was a Trustee of the Museum of Science & Industry in Manchester and remains president of the museum Friends, and is a vice-president of the Stephenson Locomotive Society.

Peter H. Davidson’s career has been in mechanical engineering, and in design and construction of miniature locomotives. A consultant to the National Railway Museum and other museums in Britain, he has experience with four archaeological and archival studies (with Michael Bailey) of early steam locomotives. He was co-author of Canterbury & Whitstable Railway – Invicta Locomotive (2020), and has written several papers on early railway technology.

Amy Gray Red Duchess Kitty Atholl biografie review, recensie en informatie van het boek over de eerste vrouwelijke MP in Schotland. Op 18 september 2025 verschijnt bij The History Press de biografie van Kitty Atholl, A Rebel in Westminster. Het boek is geschreven door Amy Gray.

Amy Gray Red Duchess Kitty Atholl biografie review en recensie

  • “With this admirable book, Amy Gray puts the Duchess of Atholl back where she belongs, in the front row of twentieth century politics. Meticulous research and illuminating use of contemporary sources make Red Duchess a fascinating and hugely valuable addition to the political and social history of the period.” (Professor John Bew)
  • “Before Margaret Thatcher, before Barbara Castle, there was Katharine Stewart-Murray, the ‘Red Duchess’ of Atholl and one of the great female pioneers of UK politics. Amy Gray’s deeply-researched biography compellingly reconstructs her moral clarity, her unequivocal human rights campaigns against the “twin totalitarianisms” of Fascism and Communism, and her profound impact on the lives of glittering contemporaries such as Winston Churchill and Samuel Coleridge Taylor. In Gray, this unjustly forgotten heroine has finally found the biographer she deserves.” (Kate Malby)

Flaptekst van de biografie van Kitty Atholl

A pioneering female politician who thought women didn’t need the vote; a Conservative who shared platforms with communists; a shy public speaker who travelled the world speaking for Spanish refugees: the formidable Duchess of Atholl was full of contradictions.

Born into an ancient Scottish family and married to a philandering duke, Kitty rose above the constraints of class and convention to become a tireless advocate for women and children. By her election as the first Scottish female MP in 1923, she was one of the most prominent women in Scotland – and that was well before she shocked Westminster with outspoken rebellions against her own government.

She stood with Spanish refugees and challenged fascism, visited war zones and campaigned with her political opponents, criticised tyrants and wrote her own political playbook. In Red Duchess Kitty Atholl’s extraordinary life is brought to the spotlight she has long deserved – a compelling story of courage, conviction and a woman who refused to play by the rules.

Amy Gray has spent fifteen years working in public affairs and politics and has stood for Parliament twice. She splits her time between Cambridge and Scotland with her husband and two children.

Flaptekst van het boek over Ierland van John Crotty

This nationally important book reveals the untold story of the Irish tricolour: its true origins, a forgotten heroine, and the emblems it replaced.

For the first time, a fully referenced history corrects long-standing myths and slurs surrounding Ireland’s national flag. It also reinterprets iconic Irish symbols — from the harp and shamrock to the tri-spiral — placing them within the broader journey toward Irish nationhood and national identity. Along Ireland’s road to a republic, key figures are restored to their rightful place — from Owen Roe O’Neill and Wolfe Tone to Thomas Meagher and Padraig Pearse.

The book explores crucial turning points — the rise of green as Ireland’s colour, the rebellions of 1642, 1798, 1848, and 1916, Catholic Emancipation, and the flag’s later use — and misuse. A bold, insightful retelling of Ireland’s story through its symbols.

John Crotty is an Irish author and historian. His debut book, Spike Island, was critically acclaimed, selling out its first print run and featuring in Books.ie’s ‘Books of the year’. He previously led the running of Spike Island as CEO. He has written for RTÉ and The Sunday Times and is an accomplished public speaker, appearing on several TV shows like the Discovery Channel, ITV’s How the Victorians Built Britain and RTÉ, in addition to innumerable radio appearances. He holds a degree from Swansea University and regularly speaks at history and writing events as well as contributing to historical podcasts. He has built an engaged social media audience interested in an accurate retelling of Irish history, and comprehensive historiography related to Irish symbols and identity, the Irish tricolour, Ireland in the Second World War and Spike Island.

Flaptekst Great British Steam Locomotives book

The industrial revolution and the age of steam were intertwined, each pushing the boundaries of the other, and the creation of steam locomotives changed the world forever.

Flaptekst van het fotoboek over het Concorde vliegtuig

There has never been another plane like Concorde. A product of post-war Anglo-French cooperation, its distinctive nose, classic lines and faster-than-sound speeds have embedded it in the hearts of aviation enthusiasts since its first flight in 1969.

Concorde: A Collection in Photographs is a compendium of the supersonic airliner’s life and career, from test flights to retirement day. Compiled by former air traffic controller and lifetime aviation enthusiast Robbie Shaw, it covers both British Airways and Air France Concorde aircraft and highlights the impressive collaboration between the two nations that resulted in such an important and beloved aircraft.

With more than 140 colour photographs, many of which have never been published before, this book is a stunning tribute to an icon whose like will never be seen again.

Robbie Shaw was an air traffic controller in both the RAF and National Air Traffic Services, also working as a tour leader for Ian Allan Aviation Tours for some years. He has written 28 aviation books across civil and military topics, and created the concept for Airliner World magazine (Key Publishing), working as a consultant for its first few years. He has written many articles for aviation magazines.

Flaptekst boek van Tim Hames over de geschiedenis van het Britse koningshuis

Since 1066, there have been more than forty kings and queens of Britain (give or take a Cromwell, Scotland not included). They are a dazzling cast of characters, and we routinely debate over who deserves the title of greatest ruler in our long history. From William the Conqueror to Henry V, Elizabeth I, Victoria and latterly Elizabeth II – their lives tell the story of our nation.

But how exactly do you measure a monarch?

Measuring Monarchy provides a completely original outlook as to how to analyse British kings and queens and throws a revisionist Molotov cocktail into our historical thinking. It puts forward and explains the case for five comparative metrics for all UK monarchs: their professional standing, their popular standing with the public, their impact on public finances, how they conducted foreign policy and their preparations for succession.

Tim Hames casts a forensic eye over fifteen key kings and queens, determining whether their status has been overrated or underrated. What is revealed may surprise you, and some overlooked monarchs are returned to their rightful standing.

Tim Hames began his career as an academic, lecturing in Politics at Oxford University, before moving into journalism as an Assistant Editor and political columnist for The Times. He has published widely. More recently, he has been the co-author (with Dame Kate Bingham) of the Sunday Times Business Bestseller The Long Shot: The Inside Story of the Race to Vaccinate Britain. He is the co-founder of Acuti Associates, a geopolitical consulting firm, and in that light he is the author of Trump II: Why He Won. What It Means For The World.

Flaptekst van het boek over verhalen vertellen in Cornwall

Cornwall’s storytelling tradition stretches back a thousand years. Before TV and radio, stories were told among the flickering shadows at the fireside. They whiled away the travellers’ miles, long hours in the fields, and days at sea. They gladdened brief moments of relaxation for miners and bal-maidens. Travelling storytellers wandered from village to village swapping words for supper, and a rich local dialect brought the tales to life. Classic Cornish tales such as the Mermaid of Zennor and Jan Tregeagle are wonderfully entertaining, and collectively tell us much about Cornwall, its people, and its history.

Join accomplished storyteller, scholar and writer Mike O’Connor as he explores the ‘when, where, and why’ of Cornish folk tales and celebrates the rich traditions and cultural legacy of hwedhlow.

Mike O’Connor is a powerful and engaging storyteller who performs at many events across the country. An important researcher into Cornish music and folklore, he has been awarded the OBE and made a bard of the Gorsedh of Kernow.

Flaptekst van het boek over de geschiedenis van The Stone of Destiny

Scotland’s ‘Stone of Destiny’ is the most famous symbol of both Scottish nationhood and the British monarchy.

Nick Aitchison has produced the first fully researched and illustrated study of its history, mythology and cultural significance. Having first traced the origin, evolution and function of myths surrounding the Stone and the ancient prophecy that gives the Stone its name, he examines the stone itself and for the first time reveals the Stone’s original function and the origins of its symbolic sanctity.

The Stone’s historic contexts and its role in royal inauguration and coronation rituals are also discussed, including an analysis of the rich symbolism surrounding the Stone and its changing nature over time. The book concludes with a discussion of the Stone’s symbolic significance with the creation of the Scottish parliament.

Nick Aitchison took his degree (in Archaeology and Scottish History) at the University of Glasgow, where he also gained his PhD. His research interests focus on kingship and royal and religious centres in early medieval Scotland. His previous publications include Forteviot: a Pictish and Scottish Royal Centre and the critically-acclaimed Macbeth: Man and Myth. Dr Aitchison is currently conducting research on early medieval Scone, its environs and associated royal centres.

Flaptekst van het boek Lost Cars of the 1960s

Sixty diverse cars, sixty fascinating stories, sixty contrasting specifications, just one uniting factor: they’re all forgotten, neglected or misunderstood classics.

What is that car? Think you know it? Take another look; is it really what you remember? The 1960s may be regarded as the cradle of the classic car, but these are the tantalising ones that got away. Giles Chapman has assembled a line-up of contrasting automobiles here, which quickly became obscure. Each of the cars you’ll discover here tells an unusual story, and the endings are often surprising. In this turbulent decade, brave new engine technology was championed and then rejected, design trends suddenly exploded, and car-buyers became unpredictable. The cars in this book sometimes suffered as a result – although some of them were actually just plain odd!

Lost Cars of the 1960s is the final part of a trilogy that includes Lost Cars of the 1940s and ’50s and Lost Cars of the 1970s, recording the intriguing sideshows of motoring history from around the world.

Giles Chapman is an award-winning motoring writer. He has edited and written for numerous car magazines, and contributed to national newspapers. His books include My Dad Had One Of Those, Chapman’s Car Compendium, Cars We Loved in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, and 100 Cars Britain Can Be Proud Of. He lives in Kent.
